O’Keeffe eases fears over knee injury

EILEEN O’KEEFFE has eased fears over her knee injury, throwing 5kg and 7kg hammers at the Irish training camp in Matsue, according to Irish team manager, Patsy McGonagle.

The Kilkenny thrower, who finished sixth in the world championships in Osaka last year, caused a major scare when she pulled out of the Morton Memorial meeting in Santry two weeks ago.

But McGonagle said last evening it was looking very good for her participation in the Olympics.
